First time visiting…fish tacos were on point. Tablemates had chicken nachos and beef fajitas. They both liked their meals.

6 people- all happy. Food-fresh and delicious + large portions. Prices- Unbelieveable for 2025. Burrito California- Highly recommend. Tomatillo sauce- spicy and delightful. Server- top notch. We are a handful and I am slow to order. The young lady waitress was patient, kind, cheerful and informative. She went over many menu favorites to help me choose. She talked to us like we were family. And kept the drinks full and made sure every detail was perfect. It was our first time in Shelbyville and we will doubtless eat here anytime we come back. We never have everyone leave a restaurant happy. Highly recommend.

We were lucky that this place was open! We were in Shelbyville for one day and were surprised that many places closed early. Service was good. The food did not disappoint- it hit the spot! The frijoles tasted as if my Mother had made them lol. I ordered the carne asada and when I saw all those grilled onions on top, my mouth was watering! Oysters also were perfect!

If you’re in Shelbyville and are craving Mexican food check out El Mexico…really good food and excellent service. I went with the Carne Asada and the flavors were awesome and the portions huge. The chips and salsa was good and the 2 for 1 draft beer was an added bonus!!!

The food was ok the salsa was very watery though. The strawberry margarita was very good. The waitress didn’t seem to like me I guess because I asked too many questions. The atmosphere seemed very cheap. 3/10 would probably not return.

I ordered a grilled steak burrito and received…I don’t know what it is. It was soaked in marinara sauce. This is meant to be a Mexican restaurant?
Absolute trash.

My family’s favorite Mexican food since they opened! Always hot, delicious food with friendly, fast service! The prices cannot be beat on the lunch menu and they have a lunch menu 7 days a week. We have moved around a lot through the years but always come back to El Mexico when we are in Shelbyville visiting family. My son is a foodie who lives in Chicago now and he still loves El Mexico!!
